Ah, no no! Not in the same class but the same year ! all the students have their trip in their second year, Rei and Sachiko being both second year of the same year, they went on the same trip, just like Shimako is on the same trip with Yumi & Yoshino while she's not in the same class anymore (she was in the same class as yumi during the first year only). Tsutako, while being very wise, is still as young as yumi, that's why we see her in the same trip, and she's till in the same class as yumi this year.

EDIT : I didn't catch what you said well at first, so my reply above may be out-of point^^;
Yumi had a comrade i think it was a classmate, and her nae wasn't given i think. That classmate had her onee-sama in the same class as Sachiko the previous year. Yumi asked her classmate to ask for her onee-sama to buy a photo where Sachiko could be posted for Yumi.

If I remember well, this as said by Tsutako when she tempted Yumi with getting the pic of herself and Sachiko tying her scarf, in exchange for asking the permission of exhibiting the photo from Sachiko-sama...... she said something like : "I know you're secretly a fan of Sachiko-sama.... don't you want this photo? you only have one with a tiny Sachiko-sama on it, taken during her school trip that you got from somebody's onee-sama who is in the same class as Rosa Chinensis en Bouton, right?" - Yumi ->> O_o; "how do you know that?!"

When Sachiko said Sei made the joke on her, she said it was when she herself went to Italy, and Rei and herself couldn't find the roma-manju and brought back something else as a souvenir...

I went ahead to ziggr and read the novel translation.. Actually, it went something like this:

Quote:

Tsutako to Yumi:
"I know. You secretly adore Ogasawara Sachiko-sama. But the fact remains that you don't have a photo of the two of you, or a bust shot. The board outside the teachers' room was filled with great photos from the school trip, but since you're from a different grade, you thought it was too mortifying to ask for one, right? You're not in any club activities, so you didn't have a second-year senpai to ask and buy for you. You barely have one shot, from the sports festival. A photo that accidentally includes Sachiko-sama from behind, while she was waiting for her turn in the relay race. It's such a meager photo, small like a grain of rice, or no, a pea."

"How rude! It's bigger than that! More like a pencil. Anyway, it's precious to me."

Tsutako-san started to act like a private detective. "This pencil, I wonder if you can still be satisfied with it after today."

Her glasses flashed in the light.

"You're evil."

After being shown good photos like this, could she really live without them from here on out?

So, it's actually, she got a pic of Sachiko from a far in the sports festival, she only wished she had a pic of her in the school trip

Hmp, I've been gone quite a while now, and no one posted anything much..
Guess 14 pages for the past and this OVA got covered, so there's nothing more to post..
Until then we wait for the next season.. *And I can't wait!! @_@*

Hello, anyway, I've just read Oyuki Konno's Novel Review, and, yet again, there are parts not included in the 5th OVA when it should've been included..

Spoiler for The Absence of Rosa Chinensis en Bouton:

It was the last day of September.

The Rose Mansion was quiet.

No, not just the Rose Mansion. All of the school buildings were quiet. The second-years were gone. That was it.

Six classes worth. When you considered that the school was from kindergarten to college, that didn't seem like very much. However, when students who are normally there are gone, it leaves a sharp impression of inactivity.

"Hmm?" There was a feeling as if someone had come into the Rose Mansion. Because it was so quiet, it was possible to hear the door below open even on the second floor.

No one called out, but she could soon hear the squeaking sound of someone on the stairs. It might be someone who was used to going in and out of the Mansion. Sachiko put down her cup and opening the door that looked like a biscuit, waited.

Clank. And.

"Ah." The words came from the visitor who had opened the door, who stiffened momentarily. She seemed to have come here not thinking that there was a person inside already.

As for Sachiko, she had at last had time to compose herself, knowing someone was coming up. But when she saw who the someone was, she was more than a little surprised.

"Good day," Sachiko called out.

"G...good day, Rosa Chinensis." Coming to her senses, Hosokawa Kanako lowered her head. She had long hair and was very tall. "Please excuse me. When I heard that there was no meeting after school today, I thought that no one would be there."

"So you came in?"

"...Yes, then."

What had she come for, Sachiko was interested, as she watched Hosokawa Kanako pick up a bag that had been left by the window. It seemed as if she had come to get something she left behind.

Whatever the reason, Sachiko once again poured some tea and let her gaze drop to the script.

And, Hosokawa Kanako indicated that she was planning on leaving.

"Please. I don't mind." Sachiko commented.

"But." She obviously did not want to intrude on an upperclassman who was here alone, doing a script check. Nevertheless, she gave off the feeling of being the kind of person who, if ordered to "go home" would have to be grabbed by the tie and pulled.

"Since you're here, it's fine. Please sit." Sachiko indicated a seat with her finger. Do what you want. Tall Hosokawa Kanako did not appear to be anxious about standing there, doing nothing.

"Rosa Chinensis."

"Eh?"

"You can't possibly be comfortable thinking that I am here."

"Didn't I say that since you're here, you might as well sit?" Ah, so troublesome. Sachiko face could plainly be seen to be fed up.

It looked like this was about something that was said when she was coming in and out of the Rose Mansion, helping with the school festival. Either way, that did not alter the fact that this was bothersome.

"...The day before the Hanadera Academy festival, in the old greenhouse."

So, that was what this was about. The girl felt bad about it, although it was just "that thing" to Sachiko.

"I said what I wanted to say at that time, it's fine now."

However, there was still the vague feeling of things that she wanted to say being left over. After that day, of course the two of them had met each other's gaze but, there had never been a chance to exchange words alone, until today.

"Forgive or not forgive. It's the same to you, I'm not the world's law. Don't mistake me, I may certainly have hurt other people that I don't know about. I'm just an imperfect human. ...I'm not in a position to judge."

"Imperfect.... What would your followers say if they heard Rosa Chinensis say that?"

"If you want to know, ask them," Sachiko said, her voice rising.

For generation after generation, a too-perfect image had attached to the Rosas. However, The distance between the Yamayurikai management and the normal student body was not easily breached. They had lives that were admired. However, it was not their intention to be deified.

"If I think about it even a little, it's easy to understand why Yumi is popular with the first-years."
